Re: How do I set the CPU Frequency Governor In Opensuse 13.1 ?

ok, so I rebooted then ran the check and got...

Code:

takeit2@neo:~> cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: powernow-k8
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 109 us.
hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.80 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.80 GHz, 1000 MHz
available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1.80 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz.
boost state support:
Supported: no
Active: no

but I kinda knew that would be the case. I have been through some parts of this over the past 2 weeks. I think you have to have pm-profiler running first. I've not tried undoing it all and testing it.

But what did work this time after starting pm-profiler in the old yast module "System Services (Runlevel)" was to go to the Yast module "/etc/sysconfig/ Editor" navigating to Hardware/Power/PM_Profiler_Profile and adding low_lantency there, saving, then rebooted.

I then checked, and it worked...

Thanks for your help Malcome, I'm not good at all with the CL tools

Proudly using SuSE LINUX since Version 6.3Now using OpenSuSE x86_64/12.2/KDE & 3x x86_64/13.1/KDE

I turned off Intel SpeedStep in BIOS.

Code:

user@machine:~> cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 0.97 ms.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.40 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.40 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
